This 72.49 gram raw, green-blue Vivianite specimen from Brazil has extreme translucence and vivid coloring with pleochroism. It has a unique hole in the craggy chalcedony matrix stone and a distinct phantom inclusion within the blade of Vivianite. This fragile specimen is just 1.5-2 on the hardness scale, so it is quite fragile and to be handled with care. It will retain its coloring best out of direct sunlight, as the iron content can tarnish and darken the color in the sun. This specimen represents a high-grade example of this sought-after collector’s mineral. It measures approximately 100 x 35 x 23 millimeters.
